"Cesar does great work. He is reliable, kind and responsive. He replaced my kitchen cabinet doors, he installed my new bathroom: including vanity, medicine cabinet, light fixture, tile flooring, and toilet. All came out perfect. He replaced old closet doors with new bi-fold doors, and he helped with many other details I needed. I will definitely be using him again, I am very happy with everything!"

"Roven took the time to explain the process and the details involved in installing Belgium blocks along my driveway and a flower bed nearby that was edged with old, crumbling concrete. He extended the walkway to my front door with stone tile and at a reasonable cost. The end result met my expectations and I will use this company again for other projects."

"Great job by MK GC. We had a small but tricky painting/wallpapering/tile job and they did a great job. They were exactly on time, on budget, and completed everything plus another item I added at the last minute. Will definitely be using them again."

"First time dealing with RIBO. To be honest with anyone reading these comments, I had a pleasant experience dealing with Franco and his team and his associates contractors that were involved in all my needs, i.e. electrical service upgrading, replacing my kitchen ceiling and repairing the walls, replacing my porch tiles and install radiant heat. The team was very meticulous keeping the work area clean and containing dust and debris, it is seldom that you encounter this type of quality service. I am certain that I will not hesitate rehiring Ribo in the near future. Many thanks to Franco and his Team."

"Darek and his workers are AMAZING. They consistently showed up on time and worked with us to get the job done on time. When it became obvious that our original plan for the room (replace drywall, sand, and paint) would not address all the structural issues uncovered during the demo phase, they were more than willing and able to work with us on a solution that didn't break the bank (rebuild broken staircase, rebuild pantry, replace wood and tile flooring). The finished project far exceeds our expectations."

No matter what needs to be done, big or small, he’s my go-to guy whenever something goes wrong or needs fixing. I’m so grateful for his quality work and the peace of mind he brings. Highly, highly recommend!"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Here’s another instance of where the answer is you could, but that doesn’t mean you should. Yes, part of the issue is getting the drywall to stay in place on the tiles, and it’s understandable that screws will crack the tiles and cause them to crumble. That’s why it’s a much better idea to screw drywall into studs, not your porcelain or ceramic tile. But aside from issues with attaching the drywall, it’s also about ensuring a smooth application without trapping moisture inside.

If you’re handling your tile removal yourself, seal the room using painter’s tape and heavy-duty contractor bags to prevent dust and shards from escaping. Use a claw hammer or a pry bar and a mallet to get behind the tile and pry it away from the floor or wall. Once your tiles are all removed, sweep everything into contractor bags for disposal, being careful not to overfill them. Make sure you wear a dust mask, safety goggles, and work gloves to keep yourself safe from injury while you work.

Different types of tile cutters may work best depending on the type of tile you are cutting and the size of your project. There are two main types of tile cutters: manual and electric. Manual tile cutters are quick and easy to use for small projects and softer tile materials, but they can only make straight cuts. Electric tile cutters make light work of big projects and can cut through harder materials.

Yes, but you’ll have to use some other type of tool to avoid damaging the tile and possibly injuring yourself. Some alternatives to tile cutters include a glass cutter, angle grinder, and wet saw. Depending on the tile material, you might simply be able to measure and score it with something sharp, like a carbide-tipped pencil, and break it off. Be sure to sand the edge for a smooth installation.

Yes, you can install a backsplash directly onto drywall, provided the wall is properly prepped, clean, and dry. For best results, especially in kitchen areas, your walls should be made of moisture-resistant drywall, often called green board. If your current wall isn't moisture-resistant, it's recommended to replace it before installing the backsplash. For even greater protection against water damage, you can remove the existing drywall and install a tile backer board or cement board instead. While properly installed standard drywall is typically strong enough to support a backsplash, some local building codes may require water-resistant materials in kitchen areas, so it's a good idea to check.
